Interesting article from a generalist magazine. According to it:
- Best Preinstalled Phone: Fairphone 6 With /e/OS
- Best for Pixel Phones: GrapheneOS
- Best for Non-Pixel Phones: /e/OS
- For the DIY Tinkerer: LineageOS

Honestly Graphene is the only one that I’d trust unless you’re not going to add any Google play services at all with Lineage, and I’m including micro G on that too.
Sailfish OS is beautiful and really nice, decent app support, but kind of a pain in the USA, postmarketos shows strong promise, but doesn’t have VOLTE support yet which makes it a dealbreaker for me personally. I know a lot of folks love UBports, it never really was something I enjoyed. I’m really hoping to use Sailfish in the USA someday
Postmarket and Mobian sure do have VoLTE on certain phones. OnePlus 6 for example. The trick is it needs to be abled first before you wipe Android. But I remember someone posting a workaround recently.
Do you have a link? I have a small army of OnePlus 6Ts literally just for playing with Linux OS on them. I’d love to try this workaround, if you don’t have the link readily available no sweat I’ll look about
P.s. new to my knowledge fedora is running on the 6T albeit very slowly compared to postmarket and mobian

Have you actually used sailfishos? It isn’t much better than using an Ubuntu touch device:
If you had a different experience, I’d love to know how you achieved it.
I have not gotten it to work for calls but I’m prejudiced, I loved Maemo and Meego and have really only poked around the OS without a SIM connected because I couldn’t use it for calls in the US
